Does anybody know of somehwere they would consider experts on the E30 in W Yorks?

I'm in two minds about where to take the car for any bits that need doing on it. I could just use the dealer, but have a feeling the 18 year old tyre monkeys simply wont have any epxeriance at all with these cars.

I take mine to Metcalf Autos (used to be Metcalf Motorsport) in Sherburn in Elmet. Paul knows e30s and any other BMW inside out. Used to build and race BMWs for the Britcar series for himself and other teams.

He has looked after my M3 for the last 8 years and I wouldnt trust anyone else with it.
